#SONDAKİKA | A verdict has been issued in the case related to the accident in which Mohammed Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, the son of the President of Somalia, killed motorcycle courier Yunus Emre Göçer.

Mohamud was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison, which was converted into a fine of 27,300 TL.

The son of the Somali president gets away with murder/manslaughter by paying ~$900

The penalty for killing a wild goat is ~$8500, almost ten times as much.

Probably by the time he has to pay it will be $500

Isn't this foreign policy ? Where foreigners can murder a citizen for a tenth of a goat
Irrelevant completely, it is internal politics . Even if it is politics.
I know it is political to you. But then again, in your discourse here , you have no a particular political views.
The political views doesn't consist of , endlessly blubbering about the things that you don't like, it consist of the the ideas too, which you sorely lack.
What I am trying to tell you here , you have nothing to offer but the hate. Very primitive starting point, which cynicism can't masks.
Talking about the goats or rubbish depots? It shows just petty hate.
I am sure , if anyone read any kind of the news in any country, can come up with something.
It seems to me that you are spending a lot of time going through the sources to come up with anything.
A primitive demagogy.

maybe for the citizens of your country yes but not here
In the context of the things , completely irrelevant. Maybe it is not for you as the intention of the post is the only discours that you have. Apart from that , there is nothing more.
Talking about the goats in Foreign Affairs and Geopolitical thread? Only if we talk about the varieties of the goats in different geographies, maybe
So at least contribute something, price and biological profile of Turkmenistan goats?

If Turkiye has a powerful ekonomy and a poweful army, then with appropriate diplomacy there will be no need for conquest. Because many countries - from Yemen to the Balcans, and from Libya to Altai - all those countries that the previous speaker vanted to conquer, will themselves vant to be in the Union with you. If you are Napoleon on Hitler, or say Stalin, and have the most powerful army on the continent, then perhaps you will conquer everything around you. But don't worry, it won't last long. Because sooner or later you will see a powerful coalition of countries in front of you. Look at Germani today. What she failed to achieve with war, she achieve with soft power. Turkiye has soft power and a powerful army
Actually compare to our economy performance (17th and about 13000usd per capita) we done so well in Diplomacy.

Turkic organization achieved a lot and we have influence in Qatar and Libya and others.

West is unhappy about it.

Watch Russia and China, they made their brother Ukraine and Taiwan against them.

Honestly there's a traffic accident that happened every day in Turkey.

No one in Turkey can accept Japanese-style harsh laws (compensation for death in traffic accidents is US$1 million)

Trump wrote that humiliating letter to Erdoğan and thus Turkey. Threatened to attack Turkish forces.

Yet some of us seem to have a very short attention span.

Trump just speaks shxt every day.Forget his words,he even said Chinese and North Korea were very good and forgot that the next day.

Trump is good for us because he will make US -EU relationship very bad, also make many of US government and army against him.that is good for us.

Maldives moves to replace India, inks deal with Turkey for drones to patrol high seas​


Maldives is among India’s key maritime neighbours & part of its ‘Neighbourhood First Policy’, but President Muizzu set a 15 March deadline for Indian military personnel to leave the island nation​

New Delhi: The new government in Maldives has signed a USD 37-million deal with Turkey to buy military drones that will patrol its high seas – a task so far done by India in partnership with the Maldivian defence forces.


The decision comes in the backdrop of President Mohamed Muizzu’s 15 March deadline for 77 Indian military personnel to leave the island nation. Muizzu came to power last September, riding on an anti-India rhetoric and ‘India out’ campaign.

Interestingly, the Indian officers stationed in Maldives were those who operated and maintained two Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopters and a Dornier aircraft gifted to the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) by India, besides training the Maldivian military.
The helicopters were used for transport of patients from various islands of the archipelago nation to hospitals in Malé, which has saved over 500 lives till now. The Dornier carried out reconnaissance flights by the Maldivian military against suspicious ships, gun and narcotics trafficking.

These will now be replaced by Turkish drones – the likely candidate being the Aksungur drones which are used for maritime operations and surveillance.

Maldivian media Adhadhu reported that the money for the Turkish drones has been allocated from the state’s contingency budget. Quoting government sources, it said the Finance Ministry has already released part of the payment to the MNDF.

It added that under the agreement signed by the Maldives government with a company which supplies drones to the Turkish military, the money will be paid in instalments. According to the agreement, the payment for the transaction must be done within this year.

Turkey has been at the forefront of drone warfare and has emerged as one of the biggest exporters of drones, both armed and unarmed.

The two leading Turkish companies in drone manufacturing are Baykar Defense, owned by the son-in-law of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), owned by a Turkish military foundation.

Maldives is one of New Delhi’s key maritime neighbours in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and part of its ‘Neighbourhood First Policy’. But ties between Male and New Delhi have been strained ever since President Muizzu came to power last year.

The President, perceived to be “pro-China” broke precedent and went to Turkey as part of his first foreign visit instead of India. He has also made a state visit to China.

Under then-President Abdulla Yameen of the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM), Male had signed a Comprehensive Action Plan for Defence in 2016 with New Delhi. When the lease for these helicopters expired in 2018, the Yameen government asked New Delhi to take them back.

However, after pro-India Ibrahim Mohamed Solih of the Maldivian Democratic Party came to power in September that year, these demands were revoked.

Looks like Maldives and India got into some serious beef.

A New increasingly preferred combo for neutral countries. Türkiye for defense and China for development.

India won't like that at all. India see Indian Ocean as their own backyard. Their navy has significantly improved its capabilities in recent years.

Eh, should have thought about that before supplying Armenia with MLRS and SAMs. Compared to those, TB2 at this range from India is only a coast guard bird.

As if we care a few more frigates and corvettes in the region when the chinese are sending destroyers, nuclear submarines and theoretically in future a fleet half our size to indian ocean.
